This is a recipe which has no particular origin or belong to some one cuisine. Frankly it was created by a friend, as an instant side dish. I made little changes into the original recipe as per my taste. I can have it with almost everything. I had it with parathas, added into morning oats and also added into Gujarati Kadhi. Now let me tell you how to make this.

1) In a pan add 1 tbsp of oil and add garlic paste into it. Add a pinch of Hing (Asafoetida)

Like this:

Rajma Masala is a very famous North Indian dish, served usually with Jeera Rice (if it is made of pure desi ghee then it’s just ‘made for each other’ match) and Anardana chutney. But you can have it with Paratha too…

Drain Rajma(kidney beans) and wash in fresh water and put into a pressure cooker. Add 5 cups of water and salt and cook under pressure till 4-5 whistles are given out. Drain and reserve the cooking liquor (Stock of rajma).

This is a Greek recipe for Garlic and Lemon Potatoes that is usually served with roasted chicken/grilled fish dishes. The potatoes are mostly cubed and browned. Once it’s done, lemon juice and garlic is added towards the end. It is amazingly crunchy dish where the blast of freshness hits thanks to lemon and light garlic-y touch reminds you of Garlic fries. In short – if you like garlic and roasted potatoes, this is perfect for you. So… Let’s start making this….

2) Meanwhile the corn is boiling, let’s make Alfredo sauce(White Sauce)…. In a pan, take two tbsp of butter and add all-purpose flour (Maida) in it and saute till the flour turns Golden Brown.

3) Once Done, Add Milk in it as needed (I needed almost 750 ml), mix it well and make sure the flour is not making lumps, add salt and pepper to it and let it simmer for approx 5 to 6 mins. Add Garlic and Cheese (Both are optional) as per taste and whisk it properly. The Alfredo is Ready…

4)Now drain the Corns and add them into the sauce and mix well. You can add Bell Peppers and other veggies as well

For serving I got the small canapes (available in most of Provision/General stores near your home, they call it ‘Basket’), and filled them with the mixture I’ve made, you can have it like that with some more cheese on top.
